O Caso Spotlight Avaliações & Comentários
- Tanalien2 de novembro de 2024McCarthy is interested in more than lionizing the Boston Globe’s reporters who did the hard work. There is a higher goal within Spotlight. The film merges the facts of the news story, the people behind it, and the people affected by it. Just as the Boston Globe broke these horrific stories, Spotlight builds on that foundation, offering an essential investigation into what enabled pervasive child abuse.
- Mr.Faceplant14 de março de 2026There are basically no boring scenes in this movie. Very well made and makes you ore and more curious.

- Tubeman721 de janeiro de 2026'Church covered up abuse by priests for years'. That's what readers of the Boston Globe got to experience on January 6, 2002. In predominantly Catholic Boston, the news came as a bombshell. The story was written by Michael Rezendes, a reporter on the special investigative team called Spotlight. His article was just the tip of the iceberg, as several follow-up stories appeared shortly afterwards. Publications with far-reaching consequences for the Catholic Church, and in particular for Cardinal Bernard Law, who had condoned the lewd acts of priests for years. Law, the Archbishop of Boston, would step down at the end of that year, pleading for forgiveness “from all who suffered because of his shortcomings.” Not that Law had to give up for long, because Pope John Paul II arranged a job for him in the Vatican, where he works to this day. The team of reporters who exposed the cover-up in the Catholic Church won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism in 2003. Given the impact of this case, which is comparable to, for example, the Watergate scandal in 'All the President's Men' (1974), it was to be expected that a film adaptation would be made. And the Tom McCarthy-directed and co-written 'Spotlight' (2015) is certainly worth it. We meet the team behind 'Spotlight'; The lead is in the hands of Walter 'Robby' Robinson (Michael Keaton), who is not afraid to go into the field himself and help his reporters Michael Rezendes (Mark Ruffalo), Sasha Pfeiffer (Rachel McAdams) and Matty Carroll (Brian D'Arcy James). They are all passionate professionals, but they are all connected to the Catholic Church in their own way. That institution is so woven into all levels of Boston society that every trace of criticism is suppressed without any effort. But then a new editor-in-chief appears on the scene, someone from outside, and this Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber) as an outsider has no regard for the laws that the church has prescribed. Even in his first meeting with Robby, he proposes to expose the abuse within the Catholic Church, and in particular the concealment thereof by prominent figures within that institution: the bottom stone must be dug up and the highest leaders must answer for themselves. Hesitantly, Robby takes the job. But it doesn't take long before his team comes across shocking discoveries. The truth must absolutely come to light. Who the reporters are is revealed with only minor clues. Michael's marriage is on the verge of collapse, which makes him focus even more on his work than usual. Sasha has increasing difficulty going to church every Sunday with her elderly grandmother. And family man Matty has discovered that around the corner from him is a house where priests suspected of abuse can temporarily 'retreat'. In the film we also see how the church keeps local society in its grip; in the police, education, politics, the judiciary; Everywhere there is a prominent church member who has a major influence. Anyone who dares to open their mouth, for example victims or a dogged lawyer (Stanley Tucci), is frowned upon. Most shocking is that in his first week as editor-in-chief, Marty is immediately invited to the highest church boss, Cardinal Bernard Law himself (Len Cariou), to clarify mutual relations. Whether he was aware of the fact that newspaper and church work closely together... The matter is discussed from different angles. Victim statements are compelling and shocking, as is the way in which critics are dealt with. When Sasha goes door to door and comes face to face with one of the abusers, shivers run through your body. Especially when it turns out that this man no longer has everything in order and wants to talk very openly about his past; he is apparently not ashamed of anything. The actors all play great roles, with Mark Ruffalo as the inspired Michael Rezendes being the most striking. Of all reporters, he is the most absorbed in his work and with his indomitability and perseverance he is an example for many colleagues. He is sent from pillar to post in courthouses, runs after taxis but refuses to hang his head. The frustration manifests itself in an impressive tirade towards Robby. Ruffalo has the most expressive role, but the other actors are just as strong in more subdued roles. Liev Schreiber in particular knows how to get the most out of his role with minimal resources. In addition, the city of Boston has a crucial role to play. The film knows exactly how to capture the 'vibe' of that city and therefore feels very authentic. It is amazing how McCarthy - known for strong but modest films such as 'The Station Agent' (2003) and 'The Visitor' (2007) - can turn a subject that is in fact very dry into such an impressive and compelling film. And that without completely abandoning the Catholic Church. Because there is always room for nuance in this film. This also fits in with the image of the carefully considered journalistic research that is central to this film and which, despite the recent developments in newspaper land, must certainly be preserved.
- Kevin Ward14 de julho de 2025Put this on for no particular reason. Such a good journalism film along with the likes of All The President’s Men and Network. It’s also one of the Best Picture winning films of the last 10-15 years that holds up the best. Excellent performances with an expertly crafted script. The revelations uncovered by Spotlight team of The Boston Globe are shocking enough in how widespread it was in the city of Boston. But then when the end credits roll and they list the vast number of cities that had similar occurrences….it’s just sickening to think even about. Brilliant film.
- Phattony16 de março de 2025Catholic Church news story. Heartbreaking and Shocking. Excellent cast that properly portrays the scandal that rocked the world.

- Chris29 de dezembro de 2024“They knew and let it happen! It could’ve been you, it could’ve been me, it could’ve been any of us.” - Mike Rezendes It gets more amazing each time. Great cast, great writing and a gut wrenching story. 🙇🏼♂️📖 ⛪️ 👹
- Nahim Wazir28 de outubro de 2024If you haven't seen this film your in for a treat, sobering, intelligently made film about an uncomfortable issue.
